OR OTHER APPARATUS.

EaPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 543,81 1, dated. July 30, 1895,

Application filed January 2. I895. Serial No. 533,505- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern-.

Be it known that I, MoNsuET P LLET, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, and a resident of New York, county of New York, and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ventilating or other Apparatus, of which the following is asp'ecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereot,in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

This invention relates to means for ventilating, heating or cooling, and disinfecting buildings, and has for its object to providea simple, cheap, readily-constructed, and perfectly-operating device by means of which fresh air may be moistened, heated, and distributed under pressure throughout the building, and one or more of the outlets thereof constructed to form inhalers for supplying the air'individually to the occupants of the building, and, further, to provide means for expelling the impure air from the room.-

The invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l represents a vertical section of portion of a building provided with an apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the main apparatus.

In the practice of my invention I construct an inclosing chamber or housing A, mounted upon supports a, having mounted within the same, upon similar supports a, a smaller chamber B, communicating with said main chamber A. only by means of a safety-valve B therein at, the top. Within this chamber B is a third chamber 0, mounted upon supports a and wholly closed throughout.

Surrounding the chamber O throughout its length is a pipe-coil D, one end of which projects horizontally through the chambers B and A, thence upwardly in the form of a vertical arm D provided with an augularextension D which is inserted through said chambers A and B and opens into the bottom of the latter, being provided near its junction with the arm with a valve b. The opposite end D of this pipe-coil D projects through the said chambers and leads to a suitable steam supply conveniently located, said end being furnished with a valve b. Thechambers A and B are each provided with outlets or faucets c c.

Immediately above the inclosing-chamber A is secured a vessel E, into which is introduced an inlet-pipe F, provided with a valve 19 extending vertically almost to the bottom of said vessel, and having a flaring mouth d, through which compressed air is introduced into said vessel E.v This vessel is constantly maintained partially filled with water through an inlet e, provided with a valve 17 and entering near the top of said vessel. The

quantity of liquid therein is indicated by a gage-tube f, connecting to said vessel at top and bottom through tubes f, and the contents may be withdrawn through a faucet c projecting from the bottom thereof. Above the level of the liquid an angular pipe or tube f projects upwardly from the vessel E, and is provided with a gage f to indicate the pressure of the air within the same.

Leading from the top of said vessel is an airoutlet G, of less diameter than the inlet F, and extending through the vertical arm D of the pipe-coil D, through the same to the end thereof, where it leaves the said coil and opens] into one end of the central chamber G, being provided with a valve 17 Extending from the said chamber 0 to the outside of the de vice is a pipe H, entering a small chamber H which is provided with a combined valve and regulator comprising a headed rod g, screwthreaded and inserted vertically through the chamber H, being provided with a head 9, having a face g of absorbent material, which is adapted to close the lower portion or base H of said chamber, and at the same time absorb the moisture from the air injected through the pipe H. This pipe H is provided with a gage h, mounted upon an angular pipecommunicating therewith at top and bottom by means of pipes j.

The chamber H is connected by means of an outlet-pipe k to a section or cylinder I,

having a plurality of distributing=pipes I projecting therefrom, provided with valves 12 and extending through the walls of the building to the various rooms into which said pipes open, as shown in Fig. 1, through a register or like device J in the wall of the room, beneath which they are provided with valves b or, as shown in said figure, one or more additional pipes may be connected to each room, opening into the same at about the height of an individual of average size, and provided with enlarged mouths J.

In order to provide for expelling the impure air from the building, 1 form a vertical air-shaft K therethrough, communicating with each room through the top thereof by means of the openings Z. Branch pipes L lead from the pipes I to a point immediately above one or more of said openings Z, through which the How of the pipes I may be directed by opening the valves thereof and at the same time closing the adjoining valve 1).

The operation of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. The steam is first introduced through the end D of the pipe-coil D, and continuously passed through said pipe-coil and through the arm D and extension D into the chamber B, wherein it condenses. The air is then forced through the pipe F into the bottom of the vessel E, ascending through the water therein to the top thereof and being thereby moistened, and passing through the outlet-pipe G, which extends through the pipe-coil D, the air is thereby heated and at length escapes through the end of said outlet G into the central chamber C, and therefrom through the chamber H, the pipe in, and the section I to the distributing-pipes l, the pressure and flow thereof being regulated byturning the rod g to further open or close the base H of the chamber H, and the superfluous moisture of said air being absorbed by the casing g ofsaid regulator. Passing through these pipes I the air may be caused to enter the room in the desired quantities through the inlets or registers J by open ing the valves Z), and, furthermore, the air may be individually breathed by presenting the face to the outlet or inhaler J. It will be observed that the air introduced is not only pure, but is also moistened and heated, and, furthermore, is caused to enter the room under pressure, thereby to a certain extent expelling the impure air from said room. The whole building may also be very readily purified by directing the flow of the air through the pipes l by opening the valve 12 the compressed air being thereby forced upwardly through the air-shaft K, drawing the air from the rooms through the openings 1 and carrying the same off to the top of the house, the said air being supplanted by fresh air introduced through the register J.

\Vhere it is desired to cool the air rather than heat the same, the chamber A is filled with ice or other refrigerating material, thereby reducing the temperature of said air as it passes through the outlet G within the pipeeoil D, which thus renders the apparatus useful throughout the various seasons.

It is to be noted that by the employment of the various valves and the arrangemeht of the pipes and other parts as herein set forth the distribution of the air may be perfectly controlled.

The advantages resultant from the use of the invention will be manifest to all who are conversant with the general class of devices to which the same appertains.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In an apparatus for ventilating and heating or cooling buildings, the combination of l a chamber or housing adapted to receive refrigeratingmaterial, a steam chamber within the same and an air chamber within sald steam chamber, a steam coil within said steam chamber and surrounding said air chamber and opening into the steam chamber, a vessel having a water inlet communicating with the same, and a compressed air inlet extending vertically therethrough to the bottom thereof, an air-outlet pipe leading from the top of said vessel and passing through the steam coil and opening into the air chamber, an outlet leading from said chamber to a regulator and valve, and a pipe leading therefrom to a section or chamber with which air distributing pipes connect, substantially as shown and described.
